1. Introduction SRF Injectors Motivation to develop SRF electron guns: Operation in CW mode with high acc. gradient on photo-cathode. Low power dissipation and excellent thermal stability. What is technically challenging: Integration of non-superconducting cathodes into the sc environment. Lower QE of superconducting cathodes than alkali cathodes. Emittance growth compensation with magnetic field is more difficult and needs novel approaches. 5/32

7. Nb-Pb RF-gun: Two questions SRF Injectors 1. Relaxation time of Cooper pairs after the illumination How does intrinsic Q changes when laser illuminates the Pb cathode? An example: QE = 0.17% @ 213nm q = 1 nc requires 3.4 µj/pulse. Nb at 2K Ø~3.4 mm Pb Photon penetration depth is ~10 nm N Cooper pairs = 1.5 10 13 3.4 µj Nγ = 4 10 12 All CPs in the 10 nm layer are broken. The layer is in the normalconducting state after the laser pulse. F= 60 MeV/m T rf /4=200ps later the diffusion and recombination processes of quasiparticles in the Pb layer start. 28/32

7. Nb-Pb RF-gun: Two questions SRF Injectors 2. Thermal emittance? Pb work function is ~ 4.25 ev Estimation of the thermal emittance: ε TH = r 2 3 for : λ ph = 213nm (5.8 ev) @ spot radius r = 1.7 mm Schottky at 60 MV/m E k = 0.0017 5.8-4.25+0.26 = 1.27 µrad! mc 2 2 3 mc 2 If experiment with 1.5-cells confirms this estimation we will reduce r to ~1 mm and charge to ~0.4 nc, to get ε TH = 0.7µrad HOMDYN (M. Ferrario) B Q r 2 ε 2 σ t r 2 σ t I = 18 A ε n = 0.76 µrad 30/32
8. Conclusions SRF Injectors There is visible progress in the SRF- gun projects: Two SRF-guns generated electron beam FZR (2002) and IHIP (2003). But still some years of R&D are needed to reach spec in the performance. Ad 1. Spec vs. Measurements: The FZR gun and IHIP gun have demonstrated almost emittance spec but with much lower charge. Ad 2. Cathodes: IHIP Cs 2 Te cathode has demonstrated QE=0.01 and 100 days lifetime what is almost the spec. Nb cathode showed lower QE at cold than expected but vacuum during the cool down was not as good as it should be. Deposition of the Pb cathode on Nb wall is challenging. Thermal emittance of Pb may cause some limitation in the emitted charge/bunch. Intrinsic Q and recovery time of broken Cooper pairs (Nb, Pb cathode) need experimental verification. 31/32
8. Conclusions SRF Injectors Ad 3. New emittance compensation: The compensation by means of the solenoidal mode is interesting and should be demonstrated experimentally. All these questions show that coming years will be very exciting for the community involved in the SRF-gun R&D programs. 32/32
